Faulkner (6-9, 215), rated four stars and 89th among portal prospects by On3, was a SoCon first-team performer this past season, registering 17.2 points and 8.6 rebounds while posting 11 double-doubles in league play.
He works angles and uses his body well inside, efficiently finishing with a 61.7 percent field-goal percentage.
Faulkner is a competent passer and high-IQ player who also was named a SoCon first-team defender, supported by 1.5 blocks per game.
Clemson went in search of a starting post player to replace R.J. Godfrey and Nick Davidson, and Faulkner is their answer.
New general manager Tyler Murray served as associate head coach last season at Samford, which didn’t hurt the cause.
Faulkner is a Calhoun, Ga., native who spent his first two seasons at Lipscomb.
He then followed coach Lennie Acuff to Samford upon averaging 10.5 points and 5.3 rebounds as a sophomore.
